[SML] Pantone to Gel conversion

[Paul Wilson]

I have been using swatch, and it gives RGB and CMY values for each Gel.
There is also a picker that shows hex values. Maybe that would be enough
info to be able to match them up. I also use adobe Capture on my iPad to
get the hex values for colors of set etc
